Junior Hurling Championship Valley Rovers took on near neighbours Courcey Rovers in round two of the South East Hurling Championship in Kinsale yesterday. Courcey Rovers drew first blood getting the first two points of this game having the advantage of the wind. Valleys responded with an Eoin O Reilly free but on 7 minutes Courceys added another point. Eoin O Reilly (2points), Billy Crowley and two Sean O Regan frees put Valleys 6pts to 3pts ahead after 15minutes. Courceys at this point sensing danger introduced the vastly experienced Seamus Hayes and his introduction was to have a huge bearing on the eventual outcome. Sean O Regan added two more pointed frees and Bill Hawkes added a point from play to Courceys five points in the next 10 minutes before Courceys struck for their first goal. Valleys response was immediate with Eoin O Reilly scoring a point from play and with his last action the injured Joe Crowley sent a speculative shot into the square where Tadgh Fiztgerald was on hand to deftly flick the ball to the net to put Valleys a point up. Courceys registered the last score of the half to leave the score 1-10 apiece at half time with Valleys having the advantage of a reduced breeze in the second half. An Eoin O Reilly free was sandwiched between two Courcey points at the start of the second half. On 38 minutes Tagdh Fitzgerald got in behind the Courcey defence and expertly dispatched the slither to the corner of the net. Courceys got the next two points of the game to level matters Valley Rovers 2-12 to Courcey Rovers 1-15 on 47 minutes. Eoin O Reilly put Valleys in the lead again with 10 minutes remaining before disaster struck for Valleys, when a mistake in defence resulted in them losing possession and the sliother was worked quickly into the square which resulted in a Courcey Rovers goal. Three minutes later, matters got even worse when a Courcey Rovers break up the field resulted in Seamus Hayes getting his and Courceys third goal. Courceys added another point to leave Valleys with a mountain to climb with time running out. Credit to Valleys however, as they kept battling to the end and got a goal in injury time. There was time for one more passage of play when the Courcey goal keeper made an excellent save from Billy Crowley to deny Valleys on the balance of play, a draw they might have deserved. Final score in this game was Valley Rovers 3-13 to Courcey Rovers 3-16. This was a very disappointing result and certainly a game Valleys will feel they might have got more out of.

Under 14 Premier 2 football County Semi Final Valleys U14 s run in the Premier 2 football championship came to an end when they were defeated by a strong Carberry Rangers team in Enniskeane last Monday night. Valleys started brightly and with points from Cian Crowley, Adam Kenneally and outstanding captain Aaron O Leary they went up 0-6 to 0-2 inside the first 15 minutes. Carberry then came thundering into the game and scored 3 goals in 4 minutes. Carberry kicked another point to lead 3-3 to 0-6 heading towards half time with Cian Crowley again causing havoc at full forward, Ronan O Connel scoring a great point and Darragh O Shea kicking 1-3 valleys went in a point down 3-5 to 1-10 at half time. The second half continued nip and tuck with Carberry kicking a number of points and two more from Darragh O Shea the game was in the balance. Carberry began to dominate and but for some outstanding defending from Danial Lynch, Cormac Kilduff, Darragh Keane and most notably goal keeper Denny Kiely who made five outstanding saves over the course of the game they could have been out of sight in the second half. Carberry led by two points when corner forward Jason Cronin scored a great goal to put valleys up a point. Once again Carberry came back to go up four points and held that advantage until the final minute when Cian Crowley went through only to see the ball go over the bar. Carberry ran out deserving winners on a score Page 2 of 5
line of 3-13 to 2-13. Definitely football was the winner on the night with the two teams serving up a fantastic game of football. Carberry Rangers now go on to meet Cobh in the final.

Under 10 Our u10s have been very active over the last week. On June 20th some of the squad teamed up with the U11s for the Joe Delaney Hurling tournament hosted by Ballincollig. This was a great experience for our lads and they got to play against Na Piarsaighs from Limerick and James Stephens from Kilkenny. On the same day we fielded one team in u10 Rebel Og Monster blitz where the lads performed very well against Kinsale, Shamrocks and Ballycastle Gaels. Our thanks to the u11 mentors for looking after the u10 players at the tournament and to all parents who gave great support in Ballinhassig and Ballincollig. On wednesday evening we played Carrigaline in Under 10 football in Brinny. These were tough close matches and our lads started off slowly but soon improved and got stronger as the games went on. We paid a return visit to Carrigaline for a hurling challenge on Sunday morning. Valleys played some excellent hurling and proved much too strong for their opponents. The lads are progressing well with their skills and as always we urge them to continue practicing at home and attend training.
